Jeff Fossum

Meet Jeff

Executive Vice President

Growing up, I worked on a farm in North Dakota. But I dreamed of becoming an astronaut.

I almost got there. After college, I helped build, program, and launch sounding rockets and satellites at NASA. I was a top candidate for the shuttle program out of Goddard Space Flight Center, but then the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster happened, and I turned my focus to computer systems and artificial intelligence.

I did some applied artificial intelligence research with the federal government, then transferred those concepts to building trading systems on Wall Street.

Today, I’m helping build Booz Allen’s Digital Solutions business.

Jeff Fossum is one of Booz Allen's Digital Solutions senior leaders. He drives digital solutions capture, delivery, and talent management for the company’s Charleston Digital Hub. He has 39 years of commercial and government technology consulting experience and is a recognized expert in large-scale, complex digital system transformations.

 

Jeff supports several government clients, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Treasury, General Services Administration, and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. At the Charleston Digital Hub, Jeff and his teams use common platforms and pipelines, scaled-agile development, automation and component re-use, and portfolio/product line management to help clients in their digital transformation journey. This predictable, high-quality software factory model reduces time-to-value for client missions.

 

Jeff has worked for Booz Allen for 26 years overall. He returned in 2005 after serving as chief technology officer and senior vice president of two brokerage firms, where he focused on the application of systems and advanced technology in the financial services industry. 

 

Jeff earned a B.S. in computer science from North Dakota State University and an M.S. in computer science from George Washington University. 

What inspires and motivates Jeff? Click here.

What path led you to your current role? I’m a technologist, but I’m also a consultant. At Booz Allen, I had a traditional client-facing consulting role for a while. Then, I took on an internal role knitting together and improving our large systems development capability, now called Digital Solutions. We realized we were doing more of this work—creating new and innovative digital services—than we knew.

 

What’s one of the highlights of your career? The company can now say that it’s a premier technology provider and I had some part to play in the fact that tech is the fastest growing part of our business. That’s gratifying.

 

What are your key approaches to managing and motivating your people? I’m inclusive and try to establish a positive work environment that gives our people opportunities to stretch. I’ve watched people who worked for me grow and move up the ranks. That’s satisfying. I regularly mentor about two dozen folks from various parts of the company. And our technologists gravitate to me because I’m a technologist who made the journey to senior leader.

 

What was your first job? I drove a tractor and helped with the harvest on a farm in North Dakota, so I guess I was a farmer.

 

What’s something not many people know about you? I’m a black belt in Tang Soo Do, a Korean martial art.
